I was reading a post on SEO Fast Start regarding an SEO hack that google intentionally covered up for more than a year. The author of the post said that he had to keep it to himself because letting it out without giving them a chance to fix the problem would have been irresponsible.
I see that, if you tell the entire internet how to hack each other out of Google, you’re going to cause some havoc I suppose. However, I don’t agree still, you were quite why again? Oh that’s right, it would have caused problems for a billion dollar company.
If this would have come out a year ago, not only would his friend not have had all the problems he had, it would be fixed by now, and many webmasters, smaller webmasters that perhaps don’t have the money to fix the problem.. wouldn’t have to be dealing with it, without even knowing that they are actually dealing with something.
If you were to publicize a hack, something huge, that chopped people right out of the search engines.. with how to directions, and step by step images.. what do you suppose would happen?
Every person out there that is willing to use these tacticts would.
Then Google would have to either stand up and take notice, or deal with the media backlash whilst yahoo becomes number one.
The hack we’re talking about today is a 302 redirect, whereas a blackhat seo ‘expert’ links their copy of your site through a proxy, later, Google comes along and spiders, through the proxy, and then lists their duplicate page in the search engine rankings, instead of your page.
Literally stealing the food out of your children’s mouths huh? Now I’m not judging the guys that kept their mouths shut.. well yeah, yeah I am. But I’m not judging them as people, you do what you think is best at the time.. I’m just disagreeing with them, as I am sure that all of the people that were taken advantage of by this hack are doing as well.
